SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1920

It was reported here last week that Cecil Jones and Miss Mace Hudleson,
who taught in the Grammar school here last winter, had been killed in an
auto accident at Sacramento last week, but the rumor has not been
verified.

Born In Honolulu, May 27, 1920, to the wife of Captain Harley Latson, a
daughter. Mrs. Latson will be remembered here as Miss Verne Buck,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Buck, formerly of this place but now of
Whittier, Cal.

CHILD DIES SUDDENLY
Warren Shartel, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Jake Neasham, died here
last Sunday morning after very brief illness. It seems that he was
afflicted with an affection of the throat for a couple of days which
resulted in one of the arteries or blood vessels bursting and the little
one slowly bled to death. The remains were taken to Bidwell yesterday
for interment. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Neasham sincerely
sympathize with them in their hour of deepest sorrow.

CASE DISMISSED
The case of the State vs. Chas Fee, charged with the larceny of a cow
claimed by Phil OConnor, occupied the time of the Circuit court during
Monday and Tuesday, the jury returning a verdict of acquittal latter
being out but a short time. The case was submitted to the jury without
argument by the attorneys. Both parties claimed the cow their brands
being similar. Mr. Fees brand is a bar FE while that of Mr. OConnor is
EE. The cow in question was produced in evidence by Mr. Fee, she having
been brought from his ranch in Surprise Valley. Many of the stockmen,
who examined the brand after it had been sheared were of the opinion that
it was Mr. Fees iron, although others thought it that of OConnors.
it would appear that the interested parties were honest in their opinion
and that there was no criminal intent on the part of Mr. Fee in taking
the cow. The cow was driven back into California late Tuesday night,
presumably to avoid further legation, as it is understood that Mr.
OConnor intended instituting replying proceedings.

While splitting wood one morning last week, Charley Cummins cut his hand
pretty badly, necessitating taking several stitches to close the wound.

As we go to press, we received a message that John C. Morgan, of Gerlach
had been accidentally killed there this morning. Funeral will be held
here.

SAD AND TRAGIC DEATH

John C. Morgan, formerly a resident of this place, was killed neat
Gerlach last Wednesday morning. He was working on the Western Pacific
railroad and while riding on a speeder, a crowbar fell off in front,
derailing the speeder and killing Mr. Morgan and badly injuring three
other men. His remains were brought here and interred in the Masonic
cemetery last Saturday afternoon, the funeral services being conducted
under the auspices of Surprise Valley Lodge, no. 235, F. and A.M., of
which he was a member.
John C. Morgan was born in Arkansas, May 1, 1859 and on December
24,1916, he was married to Miss Lucy Rice, of this place, who survives
him. He was a man of deep religious nature and fine moral character and
his many friends in this valley deeply regretted to hear of his tragic
death, and extend to the bereaved wife a sincere sympathy in her sorrow
and sad affliction.

Charley Simson left last week for Adin where he has the position of
Forest Ranger on the Reserve in that section.

Mrs. Fred Hill and family moved out to Massacre this week.

very successful one.

Last Sunday this part of the Country was visited by one of worst
windstorms experienced here for a long time, and about everything loose

DEATH OF ELMER RINEHART
Word was received in Lakeview yesterday, Wednesday afternoon that E. E.
Rinehart had just passed away, San Francisco of cancer. Mr. Rinehart had
been ailing for several months and a few weeks ago left for the city to
consult specialists relative to his condition. At first, the doctors
gave him every encouragement for his early recovery, but a few days ago
word was received that the end was near, although it as expected that he
would survive for several weeks. In receipt of the news of his serious
condition, Mr. Rinehart immediately left to join him and this week his
two sons, Clarence and Vene, and a brother, Adam Rinehart, of Cedarville,
left for his bedside. Mr. Rinehart was about 55 years of age at the time
of his death.
Elmer E. Rinehart was born in Chillicothe, Ohio and came to Cedarville,
Cal, in 1884. He located in Lakeview in 1896 and associated himself with
R. A. Hawkins in the sawmill business, remaining in the business for
about ten years, when he was elected sheriff of Lake County. He served
but one term and afterwards was interested in the Lakeview Land and
Lumber Co. Later he served as deputy sheriff under W. B. Snider and then
engaged in ranching on the West Side. At the recent primary election, he
was chosen as Republican nominee for the office of sheriff. Mr. Rinehart
is survived by his widow and two sons, Clarence and Vene besides several
brothers and other relatives. His body is expected to arrive here
tomorrow night, and arrangements have been made for the funeral. No man
stood higher in the estimation of his friends than did Elmer Rinehart.
He was the soul of honor. He was a man of excellent habits and strong in
oral character and his death will be a distinct loss to the entire
community. He was especially active during the war with Germany, his
position in the Sheriffs office affording him the opportunity to do much
good for his country in connection with the work of the local board. The
deep sympathy of all goes out to the bereaved family in the hour of
trouble.

KALE SHEPHERD DROWNED
L. K. Shepherd, a member of the Shepherd musical firm with headquarters
at Bend, was drowned in Suttles Lake a few days since. Mr. Shepherd was
quite well known in Lakeview, having visited this section a number of
times. The body was taken to Ashland for interment. Mr. Shepherd and
Norval Springer left Bend ten days ago headed for square lake, and
reached Suttles lake at 2:30 oclock in the afternoon. Young Brewer had
been ordered to let out no boats if the sea was rough, but Mr. Shepherd
had no fear of the choppy water and high wind, and persuaded the boy to
take them out. After their trip across had progressed some fifteen
minutes, the motor on the back of the boat became loose and bolted back
on by the boys while Mr. Shepherd manned the oars. A few minutes later
the ignition was killed by a wave, and one of the oars manned by Springer
slipped from the lock the boat swinging broadside to the wind. Bailing
with their hats in lieu of cans, the occupants of the craft could make no
headway against the waves, which were gradually filling the boat.
Jumping from the boat nearly full of water, but only 50 yards from shore
Mr. Shepherd attempted to swim to safety though hampered by hip boots and
a heavy sheepskin coat. The craft capsized as Mr. Shepherd jumped and
Brewer started to swim ashore but had gone only a few strokes when he
turned back to aid Springer, who had no knowledge of swimming. When only
30 feet from a firm beach, Mr. Shepherd sank.

J. W. Mikle, former resident of the valley, accompanied by his wife spent
several days here during the past week visiting old-time friends. They
are on their way to the lower country where they expect to make their
future home.
